A LOCAL HABITATION ARC giveaway #2!

It's time to get ready for the second A Local Habitation ARC giveaway of the season! Yaaaay! Now that we've all flailed around like Muppets on an electrified floor for a few minutes, here's the way this particular giveaway is going to work:

1. Get a camera.
2. Get a copy of Rosemary and Rue.
3. Get a pet.
4. Combine.

This contest, originally suggested by The Agent, is simple: take pictures of your pets (or the pets of someone else you know) hanging out with a copy of Rosemary and Rue, and submit them here. All pets are eligible. Cats, dogs, pythons, spiny African flower mantises, whatever you have and trust with your book, they're all invited to this party.

Be creative. Be dramatic. Have fun. Do not allow your Burmese python to swallow your book (it would be bad for the snake). Post your pictures here; after Thanksgiving, we'll open to voting, and winners will be selected. Winner #1 will get their choice of an ARC of A Local Habitation or a signed cover flat of A Local Habitation. Winner #2 will get whatever winner #1 didn't select, that being the way we roll around here.

Let me know if you have any questions, and game on!

Yay Extensions!

I am back from my cross-country visit and once again near 1.) my copy of the book, and 2.) pets. More specifically, my friend's rabbits (one of which is mine in its infancy). I can't decide between the cuteness so...

First picture, I give you mound-o-bunny in the lap region, of which one is clearly visible. Mostly because it was 30 degrees outside and as much as two-week old Silverfox and English Angora love the book, they loved the crevasses my lap region provided more. Like my armpit, and butt.
Bunny and Rue

Second, in an effort to boost baby-rabbit IQ, book IN the nest box. Given the lack-o-crevasses, the book was suddenly much more interesting.
Rue in a Basket

And third, my favorite bunny in the world, Flour, and I hanging out reading. Yes, that is a rabbit, NOT a tribble, but only because tribbles do not elect a Princess and Flour has declared herself as Princess of the Rabbitry.

...I think Flour is quite right. Those are AWESOME rabbits.

I agree! If only I could get her to take care of her babies long enough for me to *get* one. English angora have been bred for lovely wool, a wonderful personality, and the maternal instinct of a tree that crashes down on its offspring with frightening regularity. At least in her neglect she doesn't EAT them, which some English have been known to do. :)

The phrase "the maternal instinct of a tree that crashes down on its offspring with frightening regularity" probably shouldn't make me as happy as it does.
